For the vehicle to be registered in Australia then it will require a 17 character vin # I pressume that the genuine cars didnt have 17 character vin# ?
Should the number be stamped somewhere that is fairly accesable?
Also do you know where in Australia the car that you refer to is located?
Alice Springs isnt exactly the sort of place I would expect to hear a genuine GT40 to be.
From what I have been told about this car (second hand info so not 100% reliable) is that the person who owns it purchased the car from an associate by the name of Alan Mann, he was the manager/director for Ford Australia raceing division somewhere dureing the 60's or 70's.
I think he has owned the car for afew years, atleast 4-5 from what I have been told, possablly alot more.
He is planing on painting the car yellow with black stripes (sadly the same colors I am painting my Cobra replica) So I dont know if this is the original color but I would pressume so (I know if I was restoreing an original car I would paint it original color)
I hope this helps with any info you have.
